We had a wonderful stay at Stag Cottage. Superbly set up and very comfortable. It was a great location for us to explore the whole of the Lake District and surrounding area. Melmerby is a lovely village and we had a lovely walk on one of the super hot days down and along the Beck. 100% would return again.

Five of us plus two dogs had a lovely couple of days break at Stag cottage. It was spotlesslessly clean and very comfortable. I celebrated my 80th birthday and it was great to sit around the roaring fire in the evenings, pity the weather wasn’t great. We ate a delicious lunch at the village bakery and café as the village. pub wasn’t open. We enjoyed dog walks through the wods with bluebells scenting the air and the dogs were safe in the enclosed garden. Nothing was forgotten, even dog bowls. Wish we could have stayed for longer

We were here for a birthday celebration, and there was everything we needed. Christine and her team were responsive and on hand for any question we had. The house and grounds were stunning and the village pub was lovely.

Stag Cottage was perfect for our group. Plenty of space and comfortable furnishings. We enjoyed having both a kitchen table and a formal dining room where we celebrated an 80th birthday. The welcome basket has all you need and was a lovely touch. We would definitely return to Stag Cottage.

We had a fantastic time at Stag Cottage over New Year and fell in love with the village. Sadly the pub was closed, but we ate at The Old Bakery the day we left which was very good.
We also did some of the walks from the cottage which were perfect.
The accommodation worked well for us, with the kitchen well equipped along with luxury bathrooms.
The comprehensive hamper with quality items was well received, as well as the lovely toiletries.
Heating and hot water was plentiful, and the fire was really cosy on the cold nights.
It was great knowing there were EV chargers on site and although Penrith is not far away, it was great to plug in, once back at the cottage.
Overall we had a great time again and would love to explore the area more.

Thank you for your very professional, prompt service and we look forward to staying with you again.

A lovely stay in Stag Cottage recently – have stayed before in one of the Rowley Estate cottages that are of a high standard. Plenty of room for the family. Clean and well-kept. Beds comfortable. Welcome hamper excellent. Eden valley a lovely location.

Wonderfully comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting, expertly run.

Booked this cottage as it linked directly to Melmerby Hall and accommodated the rest of our large party. With its doorway directly into the Hall it was so easy for everyone to mingle. The same high standard and attention to detail in this cottage as the Hall. From its beautiful bedrooms and lovely courtyard garden with its firepit, the wonderful welcome pack, superb is the only way to describe it!

Stag Cottage very well appointed and lots of space. Lovely hamper with excellent quality items.

Good pub nearby with food and cafe even closer. Good walks direct from the cottage with helpful directions provided. Lots of very helpful information on the local amenities and places to visit.
